A shadow-walking thief. A truth-magic officer. One bond that turns enemies into co-conspirators.
Sol Baptiste steals for the resistance in the Sovereign Isles-until a heist goes wrong and the empire takes the one person she can't lose. To get him back, she has to do the impossible: infiltrate the colonial court from the inside.
Rafe Santos-Castellan is the Governor's best investigator-trained to weaponize truth. He should be Sol's greatest threat. Instead, one accidental touch sparks a forbidden bond... and a cascade of shared visions that exposes the empire's crimes and the true price of rebellion.
Now Sol and Rafe must play enemies in public while planning thefts in secret-because the Governor isn't only hoarding gold. He's keeping gods in chains. And if Sol fails to steal the Hearts of Ayida-Weddo back, tens of thousands will pay the cost.
